1 Introduction
This Emergency Flood Management Plan has been prepared by Cardno to provide specialist hydraulic
engineering advice on flood emergency management measures for the proposed King’s Christian College off
Anzac Avenue, Chambers Flat. This report has been prepared for the client, King’s Christian College, to
provide management measures intended to minimise risk to people and property during flood events.
1.1 Background
It is proposed to develop a school on land located at 38 – 112 Anzac Avenue, Chambers Flat. The Site is
bounded to the north-east side by Anzac Avenue, and to the south-east and south-west by the Logan River,
as shown on Figure 1. The Site area is 17.55 ha and the real property description is Lot 3 RP 863054 Ward
Division.
The site is subject to flood inundation from the Logan River during large flood events. The flood inundation
affecting the site is predominately backwater. Backwater flow is low in velocity which reduces the hazard level
of the flood. However, Anzac Avenue and the area near the eastern exit from the proposed car park experience
high velocities.
The proposed development is to consist of the following:
> Primary and secondary classroom and specialty buildings;
> Administration buildings;
> Gymnasium;
> Auditorium;
> Private internal road;
> Long and short stay carpark;
> 10 outdoor play courts; and
> Sports fields.
The school operating hours proposed are 8.30am to 3.30pm. This may be longer if sports or other activities
occur on site after hours. The school is proposed to have 800 students with 60 staff. It should be noted that
the school has 15 to 16 weeks of holiday a year. During this time, no students are on site.
A Flood and Drainage study has previously been prepared for the site (Cardno, May 2016 Ref#
HRP16055R1V1). The results of the Flood and Drainage Study showed that the proposed development did
not cause an adverse impact on flood levels external to the site. All proposed buildings within the site are to
be located above the1% AEP flood level.
Readers of this document seeking a concise summary of the requirements of the risk management plan are
directed to Section 4, which presents the risk management solutions for the site.
The Flood Risk Management Plan for the site is provided in Section 6.
Note: Labels in quotes refer to names given to results extraction points in TUFLOW model
‘-‘ means no flooding for this event
There is a significant amount of warning time available before Anzac Avenue (the only access road for the site,
located along the northern boundary of the site) is inundated and the Site is closed, based on stream gauge
data analysis and modelling. Given this, and the limited opening hours of the College, it is likely the College
will be closed or evacuated well before flooding commences.
There are two river height stations that are considered relevant to the site:
> the Logan Village Alert Station (Station Number 540596); and
> the Maclean Bridge Alert Station (Station Number 040935).
The Logan Village Station is located adjacent to the Site. The Maclean Bridge Alert Station is located
approximately 15km upstream. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) has defined minor, moderate and major
flood levels at these stations as per Table 2-1.
Table 2-2 Flood Classification for Maclean Bridge and Logan Village Alert Stations (Source BOM)
First Report Crossing Minor Flood Moderate Major Flood
River Height Station
Height Height Level Flood Level Level
Maclean Bridge 6.0 17.00 10.0 13.5 16.0
Logan Village - - 6.0 9.0 11.0
Waterford 4.0 11.00 6.0 7.5 9.0
The lowest point along the evacuation route (east along Anzac Avenue) is approximately 10 metres east of
the proposed site entrance. Based on the levels detailed above, and assuming a road is closed when the
depth of flooding exceeds 300m or the flood hazard is greater than 0.4m 2/s as noted in Logan City Council’s
Logan Planning Scheme 2015 version 2.1, Anzac Avenue is closed for flood events greater than the 20 year
ARI event for Logan River.
A summary of the depth of flooding likely to occur on the site is provided in Table 2-4. Flood depths are taken
by assuming an average ground level and average flood level across the site feature being examined.
Flooding from the Logan River onto Anzac Avenue in large events, is expected to block access to the site via
the west. The access at the more eastern entrance to King’s Christian College, will remain trafficable in a 1%
AEP event for emergency service vehicles, as will the access to the site via Anzac Avenue in this direction.
However, flooding on Anzac Avenue is likely to be deep and there are sections that experience high velocity
(refer Figure 3). The depth of the water will pose a hazard if parents/guardians, staff and visitors attempt to
traverse these flood waters to enter or leave the school.
This document deals specifically with the steps required in determining the flood risk associated with a
particular situation.
3.2 Methodology
Risk assessment involves considering the sources of risk, their consequence and the likelihood of the defined
incident occurring. Likelihood and consequences are combined to determine the level of risk.
Risk criteria were therefore developed to evaluate the risks, by differentiating between the likelihood of the risk
and the consequence of the event. In accordance with HB436:2004 Risk Management Guidelines (HB436),
the likelihood is defined as a qualitative description of probability and frequency. Consequence is defined as
the outcome of the event expressed in terms of death, injury, loss or some form of disadvantage.
The consequence and likelihood levels employed in the risk analysis were drawn from Table 3 and Table 2
respectively of the National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines (Emergency Management Australia,
October 2010). The adopted consequence and likelihood levels are listed in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. It can
be noted that the consequence and likelihood levels nominated for each identified risk relate to conditions
without management measures in place.
Table 3-1 Consequence Levels
The level of risk depends on the likelihood of the risk occurring, and its consequence. The risk criteria
employed for this assessment, which was drawn from the ranking criteria presented in the Safety in Design
(Consult Australia, August 2010) (p10) are shown in Table 3-3.

4.2 Overview
Staff, parents/guardians, visitors and students will have an expectation that the school, (including the car
parking area) will be safe to use and be able to appropriately respond to flood risks. As the car park and
sporting fields are subject to flooding, a number of measures are required to ensure that these expectations
correspond with reality. Risk management solutions are therefore integrated into the proposed development.
These solutions are classified as either ‘Passive’ or ‘Active’ measures.
Passive flood protection (PFP) measures are an integral component of the FRMP and include the permanent
features that provide flood protection and safety. Active flood protection (AFP) measures are also an integral
part of flood protection and are characterised by a system that requires a certain amount of response in order
to work.
Key components of the ‘Passive’ and ‘Active’ flood mitigation measures integrated into the proposed School
development to provide the level of safety expected include:
a) Passive Systems
> Buildings above the 1%AEP flood level;
> Long stay car park above the 1% AEP flood level; and
> Short stay car park above the 2% AEP flood level.
b) Active Systems
> Staff, Parents/guardian and student Information programme/pack;
> Flood risk response procedures;
> Signage to maximise community awareness of the flood risk; and
> Flood management training to be integrated with fire management.
These signs will be used by the groundsperson to assist drivers with exiting the car park/access road and/or
diverting traffic away from the car park/access road.
Staff, Parent/guardian, visitors will need to maintain awareness, particularly with regards to flooding and avoid
driving through and/or traversing through flood waters.
Performance · To inform staff, visitors and students of the flood characteristics of the site and of the evacuation
objectives processes and options in case of an emergency during a flood event;
· To assist Principal to prevent, minimise or manage potentially adverse flood effects; and
· To ensure that no unacceptable risk to people or property occurs within the site due to flooding.
Implementation · The Principal shall ensure that this Flood Risk Management Plan is incorporated within the school
strategy emergency management plans or equivalent;
· All staff and students are to be informed of the flood response measures for the site, including the
evacuation route via the Geoff Philip bridge;
· A Flood Action Guide detailed specifically to the College (refer to Section 6.4 for example) and
including this FRMP, listing actions that staff, parents/guardians and students can take to protect
themselves and property shall be distributed by the Principal and/or taught on a yearly basis
generally, and to new students as required throughout the year;
· The Principal, Deputy and groundsman shall follow the BOM website for severe weather warnings to
assist with implementation of this FRMP.
· Staff and parents/guardians will be encouraged to follow the BOM website for severe weather
warnings, particularly if they are located in or adjacent to the catchment; and
· Warning signs will be installed within the car park and at the entrances. These signs will inform users
of the Site of the potential flood hazard and will be maintained by the school.
Entry/Exit Guide Staff, Parents/guardian and students are advised:
· DO NOT ENTER or EXIT the school (either by foot or vehicle) via ANZAC AVENUE if flooding has/is
occurring over the road;
· DO NOT PARK in short stay car parks if Anzac Avenue is flooding;
· No ALTERNATIVE high entry/exit is available if Anzac Avenue is flooding;
· RELOCATION of existing parked vehicles to high ground via ANZAC AVENUE, PROVIDED that
flooding IN the car park has not occurred; and
· DO NOT relocate vehicles if flood depths are more than 250mm;
· Voluntarily evacuate following information disseminated from an appropriate authority (i.e. Bureau of
Meteorology, Council local media such as ABC etc.) for a major Logan River flood; and
· Wading could be undertaken with depths less than 600mm (i.e. knee height) for fit adults (refer to
Section 6.5) but only if required;
It is noted that should evacuation not be possible, safe refuge is possible within the College grounds (King’s
Auditorium). However, sufficient drinking water and food for 24 hrs would be required.
All Flooding Conditions
Staff, parents/guardians and students, where possible, should advise each other and inform of impending
flooding in a similar manner to a fire emergency.
Reporting of The Principal shall be advised in writing (letter or email) of any cases where either close observation or full

7 Conclusion
It is proposed that the construction of King’s Christian College occur. The site is bounded to the north-east
side by Anzac Avenue, and to the south-east and south-west by the Logan River. The site is subject to flood
inundation from the Logan River during large flood events. The flood inundation affecting the site is
predominately backwater. Backwater flow is low in velocity which reduces the hazard level of the flood.
A flood and drainage study has previously been prepared for the site as part of the Community Infrastructure
Designation. The results showed that the proposed development did not cause an adverse impact on flood
levels external to the site. All proposed buildings within the site are to be located above the1% AEP flood
level. However, access to and from the site is limited for larger events. A Flood Risk Management Plan has
therefore been prepared to mitigate any risks associated with the proposed development.
